I'm curious to see what you took away from the book, and if I won, I'd probably add a couple notes about what I took away as well. The first blog that popped out at me was "10 easy steps to identifying a false prophet" before I became a Christian, I always wondered how they could tell if the person was lying or not, and how they could tell it was from God. As I read the ways to identifying false prophets, they became very obvious. (like the one about ignoring the inebriated moron trying to pass a message from god. I'd be suspicious too!) another one i liked was "I believe in Santa... Do you?" I love the stories about all mythbusting and what have you. I liked to hear about what the REAL St. Nick did. (not flying in a sleigh w/reindeer, but if I recall right, punched someone in the face for jesus!) "no wondering people don't trust Christians" is definatly a title that stands out well. Because people unfortunatly some people really don't trust Christians. Anything with the word sex in it will grab anyones attention... Even mine :/ in your blog "sex is amazing" it was strange how you compared sex with church, but at the same time it made absolute sense. I liked the final idea, that if we help people find Christ, church will be an added benefit. Ps( I like the tshirt on the blog) my favorite one was "what could be more wonderful than peanut butter" just leave it to me to love this one because of the title! Lol but I LOVE peanut butter! And when my dog eats it XD well this is my comment to win your giveaway book. Just remember, free shipping! (I'm just sayin!)

I need to write a few more SYP posts. Poor SYP is still in the middle of a story line. Great suggestions. I need to write a few more SYP posts. Poor SYP is still in the middle of a story line.

I'd suggest the Church Split Engine (the one posted on June 13). I also liked Love Does Not Condemn The Lies we Tell was a good eye-opener. I Don't Think I Want to be a Christian Anymore was good (I often feel the same way, calling myself a believer instead). That's 4 for right now, and they're all serious. I'll be back with more that are probably not as serious. I think you definitely need a SYP. I’d suggest the Church Split Engine (the one posted on June 13).

I could have run this contest to get more promotion by saying, "tweet a link to my site or post a link on your blog" and that would be fine but I'd rather do a better job of getting content on the front page that will be useful to people coming to see my blog than to just get more traffic. I like all your suggestions by the way. I think I'm going to try a 4 week cycle with new posts in the rotation every week. Basically once a week I will add one or two featured posts and remove one. This way everything is constantly getting updated, but it won't be all new each week, which might make things too jarring.
